The Boy Meets World sitcom alumnus, Rider Strong proposed to his long-time girlfriend, Alexandra Barreto, with a HANDCRAFTED Diamond Engagement Ring. Handcrafted by him of course, how sweet is that?

According to a statement released by the actor, he followed his father’s tradition of creating his own diamond engagement ring to gift his fiancée. Strong goes on to say that his father made his mother’s ring and also made a wooden box for Strong to keep his diamond engagement ring in. He revealed that he hunted for an old-school jewel-maker and found one finally. This guy works out of his basement in Echo Park and Strong had to convince that he wanted to make this one ring.

The scene of the proposal was a Northern California property Strong had grown up on. He took Barreto for a walk and ‘it was pouring and didn’t seem like it was going to let up anytime soon’, so he just went for it! The diamond engagement ring features 3 diamonds between a twist of gold-entirely minimalist & oh so elegant!

Rider Strong writes with his brother at his loft in downtown LA, so it was easy to set up a ‘secret’ workspace there. Next career change for Rider Strong- Jeweler!
